ENGLISH - GRIKO DICTIONARY

---

Note: This dictionary is translated from an Italian - Griko Dictionary. Not speaking much Italian, I have translated it using an online translator and a good Italian - English dictionary. Nevertheless, and in spite of my best efforts, I am certain that there are many mistakes, and translation errors. Certain words defied my best efforts at translation. It is, therefore, a work in continuous progress.

I would especially like to thank Francesco Penza for invaluable assistance in this project.
